Research Specialists V
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key details: - Job Title: Research Specialists (but we do NOT repeat job title as heading). So no heading for title. - Open Date, Requisition Number, etc: minor metadata, we can fold into short
or drop. Probably we can include a short paragraph with metadata like "Posted: 09/17/2026 | Requisition: PRN46256B | Full‑time, 40 hrs/week, Day shift". But we must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. It's okay to include in a paragraph. - Job Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role" section. - Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet points). Use
- .
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications etc. Also Preferences? There's "Preferences Type Benefited Staff Special Instructions Summary Additional Information". Not clear. There's "Minimum Qualifications" with equivalency statement, experience requirements. Also "Preferences" maybe not detailed. There's "Type Benefited Staff" maybe refers to benefits? Not sure.
- Pay: There's "Pay Rate Range 50,000-92,000" and also "Expected Pay Range: $43,796 to $100,474". There's some inconsistency. The posting includes both. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state pay rate range and expected pay range. So we should include Pay section with that info. Should we combine? Probably list both ranges.
- Benefits: There's a line: "Learn more about the great benefits of working for University of Utah: benefits.utah.edu". Also later mentions Utah Retirement Systems, etc. So we have benefits info. So include Benefits section.
- Schedule: There's "Standard Hours per Week 40", "Full Time", "Shift Day", "Work Schedule Summary". So we have schedule info. Include Schedule section.
- Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements? The instructions say use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role (Job Summary) -> we can use
About the role
with paragraph. - Responsibilities ->Responsibilities
with- .
- Requirements -> maybe Minimum Qualifications (experience, education). Use
Requirements
with- or
. - Qualifications -> maybe Preferred qualifications? Not clearly listed. There's "Preferences Type Benefited Staff Special Instructions Summary Additional Information". Not clear. Might be no specific preferences. So we may skip Qualifications if no real content. - Skills -> Not explicitly listed. Could infer from responsibilities but not explicit. Better to skip if not explicit. - Benefits -> we have info: link to benefits.utah.edu, Utah Retirement Systems, etc. Use
Benefits
with- maybe.
- Pay ->
Pay
with paragraph showing ranges. - Schedule ->Schedule
with paragraph. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive: job summary, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, equivalency statement, experience requirements, pay ranges, benefits info (including link to benefits.utah.edu, Utah Retirement Systems, contact numbers, etc.), schedule info (standard hours, full-time, day shift), maybe also mention "Department may choose to hire at any of the below job levels and associated pay rates based on their business need and budget." That's substantive. Also note: "The department may choose to hire at any of the below job levels and associated pay rates based on their business need and budget." This is about job levels and pay rates. Could be included in Pay or Responsibilities? Probably in Pay section. Also "Recognized as subject matter expert and advanced individual contributor professional. Requires specialized skill set. Conducts highly complex work, unsupervised and with extensive latitude for independent judgment." That's part of responsibilities? Actually appears under Responsibilities section after bullet list. It's more like a description of the role. Could be included in About the role or Responsibilities. We need to not repeat content unnecessarily but preserve all. Let's extract sections: Job Summary paragraph: "Research Specialists Set up and conduct experiments according to established research protocols while working under the direction of scientists. Perform a variety of tasks contributing to tests and studies to support the objectives of research projects. Prepare samples for analysis and perform laboratory tasks and procedures. Collect and analyze data, and test, validate, and document results. Summarize research findings to help inform decisions. Assist in the preparation of research documentation, such as grants, regulatory submissions, manuscripts, reports, summaries, publications, and presentations. Remain knowledgeable in the research methods, techniques, and developments in field of specialty." That's the job summary. Responsibilities: The bullet list repeats same as job summary? Actually the responsibilities list is identical to the job summary bullet points. Then after that: "Recognized as subject matter expert and advanced individual contributor professional. Requires specialized skill set. Conducts highly complex work, unsupervised and with extensive latitude for independent judgment. Requires a bachelor’s (or equivalency) + 10 years or a master’s (or equivalency) + 8 years of directly related work experience. This is an Expert-Level position in the General Professional track. Job Code: P56435 Grade: P17 Expected Pay Range: $43,796 to $100,474" So responsibilities include those statements. Minimum Qualifications: "EQUIVALENCY STATEMENT : 1 year of higher education can be substituted for 1 year of directly related work experience (Example: bachelor’s degree = 4 years of directly related work experience). Department may hire employee at one of the following job levels: Research Specialist, V: Requires a bachelor’s (or equivalency) + 10 years or a master’s (or equivalency) + 8 years of directly related work experience." Also there is "Preferences Type Benefited Staff Special Instructions Summary Additional Information" but not clear. Benefits: "Learn more about the great benefits of working for University of Utah: benefits.utah.edu" plus later: "The University is a participating employer with Utah Retirement Systems (“URS”). Eligible new hires with prior URS service, may elect to enroll in URS if they make the election before they become eligible for retirement (usually the first day of work). Contact Human Resources at (801) 581-7447 for information. Individuals who previously retired and are receiving monthly retirement benefits from URS are subject to URS’ post-retirement rules and restrictions. Please contact Utah Retirement Systems at (801) 366-7770 or (800) 695-4877 or University Human Resource Management at (801) 581-7447 if you have questions regarding the post-retirement rules. This position may require the successful completion of a criminal background check and/or drug screen. The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education. Veterans’ preference is extended to qualified applicants, upon request and consistent with University policy and Utah state law. Upon request, reasonable accommodations in the application process will be provided to individuals with disabilities. Consistent with state and federal law, the University of Utah does not discriminate based upon race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy-related conditions, genetic information, or protected veteran’s status. The University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that it operates, as required by Title IX and 34 CFR part 106. The requirement not to discriminate in education programs or activities extends to admission and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its regulations may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator, to the Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, or both. To request a reasonable accommodation for a disability or if you or someone you know has experienced discrimination or sexual misconduct including sexual harassment, you may contact the Director/Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX ( OEO ). More information, including the Director/Title IX Coordinator’s office address, electronic mail address, and telephone number can be located at the: University of Utah Non‑Discrimination page . Online reports may be submitted athttps://oeo.utah.edu https://publicsafety.utah.edu/safetyreport/**This report includes statistics about criminal offenses, hate crimes, arrests and referrals for disciplinary action, and Violence Against Women Act offenses. They also provide information about safety and security-related services offered by the University of Utah. A paper copy can be obtained by request at the Department of Public Safety located at 1658 East 500 South. As per University of Utah policy 5-108: Transfer of Benefits Eligible Staff Members , a new hire to the University of Utah who is still serving a 12 month probationary period will not be hired into another University of Utah job (a transfer) until the successful completion of the probationary period." That's a lot of boilerplate EEO etc. According to instructions, we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out the EEO statements, non-discrimination, Title IX, etc. Also remove the safety report links etc. Keep only substantive benefits info: benefits link, Utah Retirement Systems info, contact numbers, criminal background check/drug screen, veterans' preference, reasonable accommodations (maybe that's also EEO? It's about accommodations for disabilities, could be considered EEO? Might be considered part of benefits? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Reasonable accommodations for disabilities is part of EEO. So we should remove that. Also veterans' preference might be considered a benefit? It's a preference, not exactly EEO. Might keep? It's about veterans' preference extended to qualified applicants. Could be considered a benefit? Might keep as part of Benefits section? It's not exactly a benefit but a hiring preference. Might be considered part of the posting's "Preferences". However we have no separate Preferences section. Could include under Benefits? Might be okay. But we need to be careful: The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Veterans' preference is not EEO but a preference; it's likely okay to keep. However the phrase "Veterans’ preference is extended to qualified applicants, upon request and consistent with University policy and Utah state law." is a statement about preference; not EEO. Keep. Also "Learn more about the great benefits of working for University of Utah: benefits.utah.edu" is a benefits pointer.
